Just as a suggestion. Not everyone has that kind of cash to blow on a chrono. However, there's bags of quality to be had for less and a brilliant and beautifully designed watch that comes to mind is the Sinn 103 St Sa Classic Pilot Chrono. Unbelievably cool wrist presence, tough as old boots and the kind of price a good tool watch should retail at - if it weren't for the current nuttiness out there. Could you kindly look into reviewing one of those bad boys please. Peace and love ✌️

The dial layout, case design and finishing really is perfect. A serious pause for thought for a one watch collection and from a criminally underrated brand in Jaeger-LeCoultre. I rushed to get this a year ago and never looked back. I've owned Daytona's, they're great, but when it comes to the value you get in watchingmaking, a Daytona realistically available only on the grey market at £30-35k vs this fairly available at retail £13k? It isn't even a fight.

A great and yes somewhat underrated watchmaker. But that can be said about Breguet, Blancpain, Girard Perregeaux and many others. JLC’s mistake is having sat on the “watchmaker’s watchmaker” stigma and its Reverso for too long. Yes, they can continue producing quadruple Gyro moonphase perpetual calendar minute repeater toubillon Reversos or maybe try to come up with something bold and new! You can see the old boys struggling in light of the independents. Maybe the new VC Traditionelle Complete open face has a shot but if it does, it’s one of very few bolder new styles from the big boys. AP’s 11.59 hasn’t exactly rocked the boat and PP has not come out with anything new. No wonder that FPJ, Moser, MBF et al are now the watches people want. A JLC Master vs a H. Moser centre seconds at the same price? I know what I would choose.

Its one of those brands that if you know, you know. Its more of a smile and knowing nod than a scream and shout.

I like to watch spot when I'm out and about, and I generally make it a point to compliment people's watches if/when I get the chance to. One thing I've noticed is that people with the more popular brands (Rolex and Omega) simply say thanks and move on with their lives. Which is fair, it's only a watch and not everyone cares as much as we do. But every now and then, when the stars align and there's a blue corn moon, I'll encounter someone with a JLC. And when I complement it, their eyes light up, they glance at my wrist, notice that I also like watches, and a whole conversation ensues. It's a great way to meet people with similar interests, as long as you don't look shady and they don't think you'll try to mug them lol

I'm not really a huge fan of that sport watch look (though the bracelet could also be part of that) hence why I usually give a pass to Omega, Oris etc etc. Though Omega specifically does have some nicer vintage ones that I do ogle from time to time haha. Side note I hate what Rolex has become so will never buy one. Its status symbol by the masses and Rolex's love of that smacks too much of Apple and just leaves me feeling gross.

An almost perfect watch to me! Only one defect imho: I’m one of those who would have preferred an annual calendar to a simple triple one

As much as I love the old tune I felt it had an intense richness to its melody, like a quadruple chocolate brownie to the ears, this new tune just sounds so much more relaxed and I like the lighter air it gives to the video.

19k review, 1.5k likes and NO dislike! That’s how good looking JLC watches are, I don’t think I’ve ever seen any video on KZbin without a single dislike. Well done Watchfinder, great work JLC

KZbin got rid of the Dislike counter last year to protect larger corporate channels like their own from downvote-brigading. If a video has dislikes, viewers can't see how many.

The thought police overlords removed downvotes because you'd be too upset if you saw them. Therefore they "fixed" it for you...

The problem isn't if I would get a Jaeger-LeCoultre over a Rolex (I most definitely would!). The problem is I still can't afford one 😅.

I’m enjoying the watch closeups and music @3:16. It gives my brain a moment to stop absorbing info from the narrator and focus on the visuals.

JLC designs have become so staid in the last few years I can’t say I really love any of them (with the possible exception of the Polaris Mariners). I wish they’d rediscover their flair for fun sports pieces like the Master Compressor line.

Totally agree with everything you say about Jaeger-LeCoultre. They are called the watchmakers' brand for very good reasons: quality, innovation, price and eternal elegance, which - I have to agree - will probably be lost on pimps, members of the mafia, rappers, influencers and other evil creatures who would rather have a Rolex.

This watch is great, but is an apple to the Daytona's orange. The Daytona is a simpler, sportier, and tougher watch, with 100 metres of water resistance, a full balance bridge to protect against shock, an antimagnetic hairspring, and a ceramic tachymetric bezel. The JLC is lovely but is simply not in the same category as the Rolex -- it shouldn't be seen as a Rolex "alternative" but as a totally different and beautifully unique thing! However, if you're in the market for an alternative to the Daytona, consider the Blancpain Bathyscaphe Chronograph, which has more water resistance (300 vs. 100 metres), chronograph pushers that can be fully operated underwater (unlike the Rolex's screw-down pushers), an incredibly decorated hand-finished movement which is substantially prettier than even this JLC's, a 36,000 vph beat rate, a flyback function (!), a date, and matching or superior specs to the Rolex on all other objective technical "sporty" metrics. And it is priced, at retail, at exactly the same as the Rolex for the version in steel, and just slightly higher for the one in full ceramic. Plus, you can get one at a discount.

Whether you still prefer the Daytona to this or not (in my opinion this is more dressy whereas the Daytona is more Sporty) this video at least says; "before you pull the trigger ... stop ... just take a look around to see what else there is before you make your decision".
